Considering this is so common, I have very rarely heard this talked about. My giant fibroid almost killed me twice about 5 years ago, and only after those 2 weeks of hell did all the ladies in my immediate family pipe up to say they have them too!

I had a myomectomy about 5 years ago, but the surgeons initially took me in for a hysterectomy. I guess I was lucky I had one giant one that could be easily detached. The fibroid(s) are back of course, and I still haven’t had kids, so we’ll see how long before I have to have a hysterectomy!

Your colleague had 3 days to recover from birth?! Wow, that’s absolutely incredible.

Sorry that happened to you, and it made for some upsetting reading. I’m glad to hear you are now with a company that appreciates both you and your skill.

Similar situation to me. I have a relevant degree with over 10 years experience (4 with this company), 4 of which have been in a senior supervisory capacity. Most of my colleagues are female, with as much if not more qualifications and experience than me.

Gladiators defined my childhood. I loved the way Shadow’s intense stare in the Duel made his eyes bulge out.

Totally irrelevant to the article, but I’ve been wondering for a while now if Trump always forgets is eye area when he’s painting his face with Ronseal. Or is this from those little goggles they give you in the tanning booth?
